RECKSON ASSOCIATES REALTY CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1996
(Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION AND FORMATION OF THE COMPANY
Reckson Associates Realty Corp. ("the Company") was incorporated in
Maryland in September 1994 and is the successor to the operations of the
Reckson Group. On June 2, 1995 the Company completed an initial public
offering of 6,120,000 shares of common stock ("the IPO"). The IPO price was
$24.25 per common share resulting in gross offering proceeds of approximately
$148,410,000. The Company also issued 400,000 shares in a concurrent offering
to the Rechler resulting in $9,700,000 in additional proceeds. Subsequent to
the aforementioned issuances, the underwriters exercised their over allotment
option on June 28, 1995 and, accordingly, the Company issued an additional
918,000 shares of common stock and received gross proceeds of $22,261,500.
The aggregate proceeds to the Company, net of underwriting discount and
advisory fee and other offering expenses, were approximately $162,000,000.
The following transactions occurred simultaneously with the completion of
the IPO:
The Company consummated various purchase agreements to acquire certain
properties and interests in partnerships which own properties from certain
non-continuing investors. Pursuant to such agreements the Company paid
approximately $6,952,000 in cash to certain holders of the interests.
The Company became the sole general partner of Reckson Operating
Partnership L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") by contributing substantially
all of the net proceeds of the IPO, in exchange for an approximately 73%
interest in the Operating Partnership. All properties acquired by the
Company are held by or through the Operating Partnership.
The Operating Partnership executed various option and purchase agreements
whereby it issued 2,758,960 units in the Operating Partnership ("OP Units")
to certain continuing investors and assumed approximately $163,438,000
(net of Omni mortgages) of indebtedness in exchange for interests in certain
property partnerships, fee simple and leasehold interests in properties and
development land, certain business assets of the executive center entities
and 100% of the non-voting preferred stock of the management and
construction companies. In addition, the Operating Partnership paid
approximately $2,623,000 for costs associated with the transfer of the
properties and other interests.
<PAGE>
The Operating Partnership contributed $17,500,000 to Omni Partners, L.P.
("Omni"). Omni used $10,000,000 of the cash contribution to repay mortgage
indebtedness encumbering Omni's property and $1,000,000 of cash contribution
to repay a loan from its existing partners. In addition, the remaining
$27,214,000 balance of the first mortgage was refinanced. In July 1995,
the Omni paid $6,500,000 to the minority partners in Omni to redeem a
portion of their limited partnership interest therein. In addition, the
Operating Partnership paid approximately $805,000 of financing costs, on
behalf of Omni, in connection with the refinancing of Omni's debt. As a
result of these transactions the Operating Partnership has a 60% managing
general partner interest in Omni. In addition, the Operating Partnership
will receive a priority interest in the Omni's annual cash flow equal to
12% of $11.0 million of the Operating Partnership's aggregate capital
contributions.
The Operating Partnership used a portion of the IPO proceeds and the
proceeds of certain new mortgage borrowings to repay approximately
$114,016,000 of indebtedness (excluding the Omni indebtedness and including
$1,500,000 of a line of credit). In conjunction with such repayment, the
Operating Partnership incurred an extraordinary loss of $6,022,000 (before
minority interest) consisting of approximately $6,356,000 in prepayment
costs and other fees, $1,742,000 of unamortized deferred financing fees
written off and a gain on partial forgiveness of a mortgage obligation of
approximately $2,075,000. In addition, the Operating Partnership used
$5,000,000 of the IPO proceeds to repay notes to a Reckson Group
partnership.
The Operating Partnership borrowed $15,000,000 under a credit facility to
repay certain mortgage indebtedness and to fund an acquisition of a
commercial real estate investment.
As of June 30, 1996, the Company owned and operated 25 office properties
comprising 3.5 million square feet, 71 industrial properties comprising 4.1
million square feet and 2 retail properties comprising 20,000 square feet,
located in the New York "Tri-State" area. In addition, the Company owned
or had contracted to own approximately 100 acres of land in six separate
parcels for development.
<PAGE>
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the consolidated
financial position of the Company and the Operating Partnership at
June 30, 1996 and the results of their operations for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996 and their cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
Subsequent to the IPO, the operating results of the service businesses currently
conducted by Reckson Management Group, Inc., Reckson Construction Group, Inc.
and Reckson Executive Centers L.L.C. are reflected in the accompanying
financial statements on the equity method of accounting. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the
consolidated financial statements.
The combined financial statements of the Reckson Group reflect a
combination of real estate properties that are organized as partnerships and
a S corporation and affiliated corporate real estate management and
construction companies (the "Subsidiary Corporations") which were under common
control of Reckson Associates and affiliated entities. The Reckson Group uses
the equity method of accounting for investments in less than 50% owned entities
and majority owned entities where control is temporary. The Reckson Group is
considered the predecessor entity to Reckson Associates Realty Corp. due to
common ownership and management; therefore, its combined financial statements
are presented for comparative purposes.
The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared by the
Company's management in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of
management, the interim financial statements presented herein reflect all
adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are necessary to fairly
state the interim financial statements. The results of operations for the
interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for year ending December 31, 1996. These financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the Company's and Reckson Group's audited financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10K for the year
ended December 31, 1995.
The Company intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT")
under Section 856 through 869 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"). As a REIT, the Company will not generally be subject to
corporate Federal income taxes as long as it satisfies certain technical
requirements of the Code relating to composition of its income and assets and
requirements relating to distributions of taxable income to shareholders.
3. MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had $106.4 million of fixed rate mortgage
loans which mature at various times between 2000 and 2004. The loans are
secured by eleven properties and have a weighted average interest of 7.38%. In
addition, the Company has $2.6 million of floating rate loans at rates equal to
150 basis points over one-month LIBOR.
<PAGE>
4. CREDIT FACILITY
On June 2, 1995, the Company obtained a credit facility (the "Credit
Facility") from a financial institution in the amount of $150 million which is
collateralized by a $45 million first mortgage. The Company pays a financing
fee equal to 1.5% on each draw. The loan agreement also provides for unused
commitment fees over the term of the facility. The Credit Facility has a
two-year term which the Company has the option to extend one year subject to an
extension fee of 1.0% of the principal indebtedness outstanding on the
extension date. Maximum advance availability is determined under a borrowing
base formula. At June 30, 1996, the maximum advance availability was $100
million. The maximum advance availability can be increased by adding income
producing properties to the borrowing base. The balance outstanding on the
Credit Facility at June 30, 1996 was $40 million. On February 22, 1996, the
Operating Partnership amended and restated the Credit Facility, pursuant to
which the interest rate was reduced to 175 basis points over one-month LIBOR
and the minimum debt service coverage ratio was reduced to 1.6.
5. COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS
On November 24, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase
eight office properties, including one joint venture property, located in
Westchester County, New York, encompassing approximately 935,000 square feet
(the "Westchester Properties"). On February 22, 1996, the Company acquired
six of the Westchester Properties as well as certain related management and
construction assets for an aggregate maximum purchase price of approximately
$49 million. The Company financed the acquisition through the assumption of a
$9.3 million mortgage note, a draw on the Credit Facility (see note 4) and
issuance of OP Units. In addition, up to $1.7 million of the maximum purchase
price will be paid to the selling entities within 60 days after the first
anniversary of the closing date, provided the Westchester Properties generate
minimum net operating income during the 12 month period following the closing
date.
On April 9, 1996, the Company acquired the two remaining Westchester
Properties (including the joint venture property) for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $32 million. The Company financed the acquisition with
proceeds from an equity offering (see note 6) and issuance of OP Units.
On April 10, 1996, the Company acquired a five-story office building located
in Tarrytown, New York containing approximately 122,000 square feet for
approximately $4.8 million. The acquisition was financed through a draw on
the Credit Facility.
On May 24, 1996, the Company invested approximately $2.25 million to acquire
a 50% joint venture interest in an entity which acquired a 365,000 square foot
sixteen-story office building located in White Plains, New York. The building
is 100% vacant and is scheduled for redevelopment. The acquisition was financed
with proceeds from the 1996 Offering (see note 6).
On June 17, 1996, the Company acquired a single-story industrial building
located in Hauppauge, New York, containing approximately 30,500 square feet for
approximately $875,000. The acquisition was financed with proceeds for the 1996
Offering.
<PAGE>
On June 21, 1996, the Company acquired a single-story industrial building
located in Hicksville, New York, containing approximately 167,500 square feet
for $4.5 million. The acquisition was financed with proceeds for the 1996
Offering.
On June 10, 1996, the Company exercised its option to acquire 60 Charles
Lindbergh Boulevard in Uniondale, New York. The 187,000 square foot, Class A
office building was acquired for approximately $20.75 million. The acquisition
was financed through a draw from the Credit Facility and issuance of Operating
Partnership units.
On July 12, 1996, the Company acquired a single-story industrial building
located in Farmingdale, New York, containing approximately 297,000 square feet
for approximately $8.5 million. The acquisition was financed through a draw on
the Credit Facility.
6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
On February 22, 1996, the Operating Partnership issued 307,606 OP Units in
connection with the acquisition of six of the Westchester Properties. On
April 9, 1996, the Company issued an additional 31,161 OP Units in connection
with the acquisition of the two remaining Westchester Properties.
On April 9, 1996, the Company completed a public stock offering (the "1996
Offering") and sold 3,000,000 common shares at a price of $30.50 per share.
Proceeds from the 1996 Offering, net of underwriting discount and costs of the
offering were approximately $85.5 million.
Net income per share was calculated using the weighted average number of
shares outstanding of 10,174,605 for three months ended June 30, 1996 and
8,809,706 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
On May 22, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $.60 per
share of common stock payable on July 5, 1996, to shareholders of record
as of June 30, 1996. The dividend declared, which related to the three months
ended June 30, 1996 is based upon an annual distribution of $2.40 per share.
On July 10, 1996, the Operating Partnership issued 114,722 OP Units in
connection with the acquisition of 60 Charles Lindbergh Boulevard.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
Consolidated Financial Statements of Reckson Associates Realty Corp. (the
"Company") and the Combined Financial Statements of the Reckson Group and
related notes thereto.
OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND
The Reckson Group (the predecessor to the Company) was engaged in the
ownership, management, operation, leasing and development of commercial real
estate properties, principally office and industrial buildings, and certain
development land located primarily on Long Island. On June 2, 1995, following
completion of an initial public offering and related formation transactions, the
Company owned or had an interest in 72 properties and succeeded to the Reckson
Group's real estate business. The Company owns all of the interests in the
properties through Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating
Partnership").
At June 30, 1996, the Company's portfolio of real estate properties included
25 office buildings containing approximately 3.5 million square feet, 71
industrial buildings containing approximately 4.1 million square feet and 2
retail properties containing 20,000 square feet.
On April 9, 1996, the Company completed a public stock offering (the "1996
Offering") and sold 3,000,000 common shares at a price of $30.50 per share.
Proceeds from the offering net of underwriting discount and costs of the
offering were approximately $85.5 million.
On November 24, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase
eight office properties including one joint venture property, located in
Westchester County, New York, encompassing approximately 935,000 square feet of
office space (the "Westchester Properties") together with related management
and construction from affiliates of Halpern Enterprises, Inc.. On February 22,
1996, the Company acquired six of the Westchester Properties and related
management and construction assets for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $49 million (see note 5 to the Financial Statements). The
Company financed the acquisition through the assumption of a $9.4 million
mortgage note, a bridge loan funded by a draw on The Credit Facility (the
"Bridge Loan") and issuance of OP Units. On April 9, 1996, the Company acquired
the two remaining Westchester Properties (including the joint venture property),
for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $32 million. The Company
financed the purchase with proceeds from the 1996 Offering and issuance of OP
Units.
The market capitalization of the Company, based on the market value (at a
stock price $33.00 at June 30, 1996) of 10,,439,200 issued and outstanding
shares of Company common stock and 3,245,892 OP Units (assuming conversion to
common stock) and the $144.4 million (including share of joint venture and net
of minority partners' 40% interest in Omni's debt) of debt outstanding at
June 30, 1996 was $596.0 million. As a result, the Company's total debt to
total market capitalization ratio at June 30, 1996 equaled 24%.
<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company believes that in order to provide a meaningful historical
analysis of the financial statements, certain adjustments must be made to the
historical Reckson Group combined financial statements to make each accounting
period comparable. Accordingly, the revenues and expenses for the periods
indicated below include the operations of those properties which were sold or
transferred to the Company in connection with the formation transactions. In
addition, 100% of the operations of Omni are presented in each period. The
following sections discuss the results of operations as adjusted and are in
thousands.
Three months ended June 30, 1996 vs. the three months ended June 30, 1995.

========= ========
Income of $6,419 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 increased by
$4,920 as compared to income of $1,499 for the 1995 period. The increase in
base rental revenue of $7,363 and $308 for escalations is primarily attributable
to additional square footage leased, particularly at the Omni and the
acquisition of properties during the period June 3, 1995 to June 30, 1996.
<PAGE>
Operating expenses and real estate taxes increased by $2,765 for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the 1995 period. The increase in
operating expenses and real estate taxes during the 1996 period are primarily
attributable to operating an increased number of properties. Interest expense
decreased $1,585, for the three months ended June 30, 1996, compared to the
prior period, principally due to the repayment and refinancing of debt in
connection with the formation transactions. Marketing, general and
administrative expenses increased by $368 primarily as a result of overall
growth of the Company including payroll and related costs, the opening of the
Westchester division and costs of operating as a public company.
Six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to six months ended June 30, 1995:

Income of $11,322, for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased by
$9,929 as compared to income of $1,393 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.
The increase in base rental revenue of $11,763 is primarily attributable to
additional square footage leased particularly at the OMNI and the acquisition
of properties during the period from June 3, 1995 to June 30, 1996.
Operating expenses and real estate taxes increased by an aggregate amount
of $3,655 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the 1995 period.
The increase in operating expenses during the 1996 period is primarily
attributable to operating an increased number of properties during the 1996
period and the impact of severe winter weather during early 1996 as compared to
the 1995 period.
Interest expense decreased by $3,628, for the six months ended June 30, 1996
compared to the prior year, principally due to the repayment and refinancing of
debt in connection with the formation transactions in June 1995. Marketing,
general and administration expenses increased by $292 primarily as a result of
the opening of the Westchester division and costs of operating as a public
company.
<PAGE>
In February 1996, the Company amended and restated The Credit Facility loan
agreement. As a result, certain deferred loan costs incurred in connection with
the original credit facility were written off. Such amount is reflected as an
extraordinary loss in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In June 1995, the Company completed an initial public offering of 7,438,000
shares of its common stock at $24.25 per share (including an over-allotment
option of 918,000 shares). Net proceeds to the Company, after underwriting
discounts and other offering costs were approximately $162 million. In
conjunction with the formation transactions certain investors contributing
interests in properties and or property partnerships received OP Units. A Unit
and a share of the Company's common stock have essentially the same economic
characteristics in as much as they effectively share equally in the net income
or loss of the Operating Partnership. Holders of OP Units will have the
opportunity beginning on the second anniversary of the consummation of the IPO
to have their OP Units redeemed for cash equal to the fair market value thereof
at the time of redemption or at the election of the Company for shares of common
stock on a one for one basis. Each time an OP Unit is redeemed, the Company's
percentage interest in the Operating Partnership will be proportionately
increased.
The Company used the proceeds of the IPO and an initial draw of $15 million
on its $150 million credit facility with Salomon Brothers, Inc. (the "Credit
Facility") (i) to repay certain mortgage indebtedness on properties in the
amount of $121.1 million (including repayment of $10 million of Omni's debt,
prepayment costs and other related expenses); (ii) to pay approximately $6
million of notes payable to partners of certain of the property partnerships;
(iii) to pay approximately $1.2 million of financing fees related to the Credit
Facility; (iv) to pay approximately $16 million to purchase interests in
property partnerships and or properties from the non-continuing investors;
(v) to acquire certain other real estate properties from third parties (the
"Acquisition Properties") for approximately $25.9 million; and (vi) to
establish working capital reserves.
In connection with the purchase of one of the Acquisition Properties the
Company issued 131,670 OP Units as partial consideration in the transaction.
On April 9, 1996, the Company completed the 1996 Offering. Net proceeds to
the Company (after underwriting discount of $5.0 million and approximately
$750,000 of offering costs) were approximately $85.5 million. Net proceeds
were effectively used primarily to purchase the Westchester Properties
including the related construction and management assets and certain other
commercial real estate properties.
The Credit Facility has a two-year term, with a one-year extension and
requires monthly payments of interest only, with the balance of all principal
and accrued but unpaid interest due on June 2, 1997. The loan agreement
provides for a financing fee equal to 1.5% of each draw. The loan agreement
also provides for unused commitment fees, over the term of the facility. The
Credit Facility is effectively collateralized by a $45 million first mortgage.
As further security, the Company (through the Operating Partnership and a
subsidiary) guarantee all borrowings under the Credit Facility.
<PAGE>
In February 1996, the Operating Partnership amended and restated the Credit
Facility agreement, pursuant to which the interest rate was reduced to 175
basis points over one-month LIBOR (at June 30, 1996, the one month LIBOR
equaled 5.50%) and the minimum debt service coverage ratio was reduced to 1.6.
In addition, the Operating Partnership was given the right to convert
outstanding borrowings at maturity to a five-year term loan at a fixed rate
equal to the then prevailing interest rate on five-year U.S. Treasury
instruments plus a spread, provided certain specified conditions are satisfied
and no event of default exists. The Credit Facility contains a number of
customary financial covenants.
The Company's indebtedness at June 30, 1996 totaled $144.4 million
(including share of joint venture debt and net of the minority partners' 40%
interest in Omni's debt) and was comprised of $40 million outstanding under the
Credit Facility and $104.4 million of mortgage indebtedness with an average
interest rate of approximately 7.38%. Based on the Company's total market
capitalization of $596.0 million at June 30, 1996, (calculated at a $33 stock
price and assuming the conversion of 3,2454,892 OP Units outstanding on such
date) the Company's debt represented 24% of its total market capitalization.
The Company expects to meet its short term liquidity requirements primarily
through cash flow from operating activities, which the Company believes will be
sufficient to fund non-incremental revenue generating capital expenditures and
payment of dividends. In addition to its operating cash flow, the Credit
Facility provides for working capital advances. The Company intends to finance
its on-going construction and acquisition activities through borrowings under
the Credit Facility. At June 30, 1996, the Company had maximum capacity under
its $150 million credit facility of approximately $110 million subject to the
sufficiency of the borrowings base, as defined in the loan agreement (see note
4 to the Financial Statements). The Company expects to meet its long-term
liquidity requirements, consisting primarily of debt maturities, through the
refinancing of existing mortgage indebtedness or through the issuance of
additional equity and/or debt securities.
In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company
is required to make distributions to its stockholders of at least 95% of REIT
taxable income. The Company expects to use its cash flow from operating
activities for distributions to stockholders and for payment of recurring,
non-incremental revenue-generating expenditures. The Company intends to invest
amounts accumulated for distribution in short-term investments.

(3) Square feet subject to expiring leases include a retail bank space.
<PAGE>
INFLATION
The office leases generally provided for fixed base rent increases or
indexed escalations. In addition, the office leases provide for separate
escalations of real estate taxes and electric costs over a base amount. The
industrial leases generally provide for fixed base rent increases, direct pass
through of certain operating expenses and separate real estate tax
escalations over a base amount. The Company believes that inflationary
increases in expenses will be offset by contractual rent increases described
above. The Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate, which will be
influenced by changes in short-term interest rates, and is sensitive to
inflation.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
Management believes that funds from operations ("FFO") is an appropriate
measure of performance of an equity REIT. Funds from operations is defined by
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) as net
income or loss, excluding gains or losses from debt restructuring and sales of
properties plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Funds from operations does not
represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principals and is not indicative of cash available to fund
cash needs. Funds from Operations should not be considered as an alternative
to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an
alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
In March 1995, NAREIT issued a "White Paper" analysis to address certain
interpretive issues under its definition of FFO. The White Paper provides
that amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-rental
estate assets are no longer to be added back to net income to arrive at FFO.
<PAGE>
The Company has adopted the new method, however, the following table
presents the Company's FFO under both methods of calculation:
